Hello! Got a 69 GMC 1500 2WD C/K (long box), I wish to make it 4WD, my father says it would be easier to just put the body on a new frame (frame is actually in good condition). Personally I just want to change out the front axle and put a transfer case.

My question is which would be the easiest? finding a good condition 4X4 frame(with running gear and cheapish) which would fit my long box body, or find pretty well any early GM 4X4 parts and "making it work".

My uncle is a master welder on the pipline so any drive line fab im pretty sure he could do up, what are your guys thoughts?
